I've used several other Opticians prior to Kennedy & Perkins. I walked into one of the branches…read morenear me one day several years ago to look at their assortment of frames and ended up purchasing a pair. Since then, I've used them exclusively for all of my frames, contacts, and yearly check-ups. I've had nothing but pleasant experiences with all of the staff, from the exam room to the display room. Even had an eye injury several months ago and they were able to get me in quickly and treated (during the COVID pandemic). Just went in for an eye exam and new contacts, so figured I'd give them a shout on Yelp... I've had nothing but positive experiences in the several years I've been using Kennedy & Perkins... they take my vision insurance, have always provided me excellent service and care, and typically have a nice assortment of frames as well.

Awesome service! A few years ago, I made the mistake of trying a local chain optician. The lenses…read morewere clearly not right, and in spite of several attempts to get the situation corrected, they never really did make right on their work. Guilford Optical Shoppe was fast, courteous, offered a great selection of options for progressive lenses, custom-shaped the lenses to fit my frames, and got the new lenses mounted in a jiffy. In the process of measuring me, they discovered that my old lenses had the center of vision too low - which would explain many of the vision difficulties I had with them. The difference in service was day and night - and the price was great, too! I don't like getting new lenses any more often than I have to, but when I do, I know where to go now. Thank you!

Sadly, the prescription that I use for my dry eyes is VERY expensive ($250) but the eye drs always write up the prior authorization so the insurance will pay. Well, I called FIVE times last week and left messages bc no one was calling back. They ignored my calls every time. I spoke to Miranda who could have cared LESS! I did MY job, I made the appointment and showed up on time and paid my bill. This office has NO CARE to do THEIR job-to return a phone call and fill out the paperwork! I am so disheartened and frustrated! If there was ONE light at the end of the tunnel, I was able to get a hold of a different office in Deep River. There is a LOVELY lady named Donna who actually answered the phone (shocker) and called CVS and called me back to follow up. The problem still is not solved, but having someone in the office that gets back to me is a huge win. I am hoping to get this problem solved. :(

I found him to be dismissive of my concern and shockingly even tugged at my eye without warning. When I flinched and told him it hurt, he told me to "get back here" and said it didn't hurt (as if he would know). I found this to be rude and completely uncalled for. He also referred to the great staff at the front desk as "girls" which is not appropriate. Yuck, Yuck!

After purchasing an $1100 pair of glasses and told they were ready for puck up, he had no time for me. I waited 15 minutes, asked if he could make a minor adjustment for size and he said no, he was too busy, I should take a seat and wait. It was not so much WHAT he said, but the way in which he quickly dispatched me which O found offensive. I rarely, if ever, write reviews like this, BTW. Very disappointing. Will take my purchases somewhere else, if still seeing Dr Elgart.

Erin, who answered the phone, talked loudly over me the entire time and would not allow me to speak. Then she said she didn't need to speak to me, which I am on her HIPAA because she can't coordinate her care on her own, to have my 79 yo almost blind mother call her back because she did not need me yelling at her. This was after I told her she could not see well enough to do that. She happened to be on speaker phone and my daughter an RN was listening as well as my Mom were present. We are both in healthcare and at no time was I yelling at her. She was raising her voice to me clearly not wanting to assist us. I still can't fathom what she did to me.
